I'm pretty sure people were closet growing long before fems came around
I started as a closet grower when there were no fems as a matter of fact
Yeah no doubt, but it's not "selling out" to fem some of your strains. Nearly every company does it, even mandala. It's called moving on with the times and catering for a specific market of people like me, who grow very small numbers of plants and would rather not be rolling the dice with males. There's a lot of people like me. Sure I could cram my closet with 6 plants and hope to get 2 fems, but it's still not guaranteed and I could even end up with 5 fems and not have space for all of them. Far more attractive to plant as many females as want to have in there.
That's what it's all about, this idea that it's wrong to do it is a fallacy, for this reason. Those of us who want to create seeds and further the cannabis gene pool, are going to do it anyway and buy reg seeds, so yes offering regs is good, BUT those of us who grow small numbers for bud only and don't want seeds are going to kill the males ANYWAY, so offering fems seeds just saves people who weren't gonna create seeds a lot of hassle..
Up to him though, if he likes money he might consider femming a few strains, because he's famous enough and has some killers strains and he is missing out on a lot of custom.
wouldn't mind seeing a fem , jacks cleaner
